Thanks for the kind words.  Yes it was actually out friend Trevor who 
suggested rigging the office objects in another 'object collection' 
thread.  In the end it was too simple a task to warrant a separate macro 
and I just added the rotate parameter to the general macro for creating 
the object.  I was actually much prouder of the optional image_map idea 
which involved UV mapping just part of the object rather than the whole 
thing .

Which, now that I think of it, I sent this model off to Ben to include 
in the 'collection' a day or so ago and never actually heard anything 
back.  I am wondering if the email got through okay.
